Skylegs helps MRO and part 145 operators become more efficient and compliant with the new regulations
In December 2022, EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) introduced updates in the regulations pertaining MROs and EASA Part 145 certification holders. Since then, many operators have found themselves scrambling to adapt to the ‘Regulation (EU) 2021/1963 amending Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014’.
One of the biggest changes is that, as part of these updated regulations, Part 145 certification holders are expected to adopt a Safety and Compliance management system. This is where Skylegs comes in!
In this article, we will show you how Skylegs can help you not only become compliant to the new regulation, but can also help you increase efficiency and productivity across different departments within your organisation.
Important: although this article focuses mostly on EASA Part 145, FAA companies who operate globally will most likely need to adapt to this regulation as well.
How can Skylegs help you become compliant with the new regulation and more centralised?
Skylegs is a complete and centralised flight management platform for Charter, Private and Specialized operators. As such, we are ready to cater for various needs and for different departments within an organization. With our Safety and Compliance modules, you can have an SMS and management system in place. This way, you will meet this important requirement pertaining to the new regulations in Part 145.
Skylegs is a modular platform, which means you can have Safety and Compliance modules as standalone modules, as some of our clients do. This also means that you can add other modules: Scheduling, Crew roster, Training & qualifications, EFB & Document control, Quotations, Maintenance, Business intelligence and more.
The more the different departments within your organization can avoid logging in and out of different platforms, the more efficient they become and the more centralised information and processes become. Additionally, it gives you flexibility and cost-effectiveness and you will never be “tied” to a package with items you do not need or want.
Safety module functionalities
Here is a list of main tasks that can be performed through the Safety module:
- Create or manage hazard reports;
- Create or manage occurrence reports;
- Download the occurrence report in E5X format (to send to the local CAA);
- Conduct investigations (linked or not to a report);
- Conduct management of change analysis (linked or not to a report);
- Register hazards and potential outcomes;
- Register barriers and actions;
- Perform risk assessments (inside or outside an investigation or management of change).
Hazard reports (HR) and occurrence reports (OR) can be created by any person, including the safety department personnel. Upon receipt, the safety department will:
- Process the report
- Add extra details to the report (if applicable)
- Conduct investigation (if applicable)
The occurrence reports are in the European Coordination Centre for Accident and Incident Reporting Systems 2 (ECCAIRS 2) format, according to EASA standards.
Compliance module functionalities
